Girona vs Alaves Prediction 18.12.2023

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 18.12.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona)

Currently, Girona is the biggest sensation in all of European football. Nearly halfway into the season, the Catalan team still holds a commanding lead in LaLiga.

The victory over Barcelona 4:2 on the Nemon field has put to rest any remaining doubts about Girona’s capabilities, if previous games had not already done so. Girona is now unmistakably a contender for the title this season. No other Spanish club has outshone Barcelona in the way that Girona has in recent memory. Their historic first victory over this adversary was achieved with two goals in each half. The entire team has consistently given exceptional performances this season. Veteran Cristhian Stuani, if anyone, deserves special mention. With a goal and an assist to his credit in just 20 minutes on the field, he seems to be enjoying a career renaissance.

Last season, Alaves earned their promotion to LaLiga and currently, they are possibly performing better than anticipated. They are positioned 12th in the table, holding 16 points. In their latest match, they suffered a disappointing home loss to Las Palmas, with a score of 1:0. However, this setback should not deter them from maintaining their efforts. The upcoming weeks present a challenging schedule which might reveal the true capabilities and mindset of this team.

Girona vs Alaves pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Despite having a good previous season, there were few signs that Girona would lead the table for nearly half of the current season. What sets this team apart is their aggressively offensive style of play, which they never abandon. Remarkably, Girona has netted 38 goals thus far, four more than the league’s next highest scorer, Real Madrid. Given their current standing, it’s clear that they will be the prime focus for all other teams in the league for the remainder of the season, as they aim to measure up against them.

Alaves is the initial potential goldmine. To date, the club hasn’t enjoyed much success on away fields in LaLiga, yet they’ve shown significant resistance against Barcelona and Atletivo. In this game, they have no losses to worry about, and it is anticipated they will play without stress. This season, Girona has provided numerous thrilling matches with high scores, and this could be another similar high-scoring confrontation.
